10 tips for increased motivation

We've all been
there – on some days, nothing seems to work. Losing valuable
working time doesn't take away any of our tasks, but it does increase
the pressure we feel. We think, this is avoidable! Here are our best
tips to increase your motivation and get you started again in no
time.

1. Find the reason
for your lack of motivation. It's usually something small. Maybe all
it takes to make the impression that you are buried in work go away
is to simply clear your desk.

2. Visualize the
outcome of your task. Think about the contetment you will feel when
you'll finish your project.

3. Remember your
successes so far. After all, this is not the first difficult task
that you had to solve at the office. Don't forget – success is the
best motivator!

4. Decide your next
step. Your task may be difficult and complicated, but it can be
broken down in smaller, easier steps. And these are easier to manage.

5. Plan the next day
in advance. Start your schedule with the easy tasks and the feeling
of accomplishment that they give you will motivate you for the more
difficult ones.

6. For starters,
concentrate on your work for five minutes. Most of the time, it will
be enough for you to find your usual rhythm.

7. Find a motivated
colleague and work side by side. Their motivation will rub off on
you.

8. Use your acting
talent and pretend to be motivated. You are helping your real
motivation to come to the forefront.

9. Read - not only
self-help-books, but whatever you like. New ideas will inspire you
and speed up your mind and thusly facilitate solution finding.

10. Choose a
personal mantra. Don't worry about settling on a corny sentence, as
long as it really motivates you!
